SECTION B
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific 36 can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a 37 programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and 38 around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house. 39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old 40 didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also 41 us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一陣) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地響) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s 42 over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.
The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did 43 . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very 44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might 45 seventeen compliments(賀詞/道賀) to offset the emotional 46 of one criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself? Try to 47 yourself a lifetime of positive programming by complimenting yourself, or at least think about the kind of programming you are doing to yourself on a daily basis. Remember: try to make positive self-talk a daily practice and you will succeed some day.
36. A. reactions B. behaviors C. words D. expressions
37. A. doubtful B. sensible C. strange D. powerful
38. A. sitting B. hanging C. standing D. lying
39. A. However B. Furthermore C. Moreover D. Therefore
40. A. brain B. memory C. experience D. knowledge
41. A. believed B. noticed C. protected D. persuaded
42. A. voice B. figure C. image D. anger
43. A. hold B. think C. fall D. regret
44. A. surprising B. relaxing C. difficult D. short
45. A. offer B. take C. give D. Keep
46. A. damage B. danger C. award D. relief
47. A. stop B. consult C. imagine D. give

For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin."
Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
【小題1】By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “ ”
| A．Observation is the best teacher. |
| B．Seeing is believing. |
| C．The outsider sees the most of the game. |
| D．It is not easy to gain money |
| A．My flower garden | B．Marvin helps to realize my dream |
| C．Love in Michigan | D．Money grows on trees |
| A．wasteful | B．tight | C．a(chǎn)bsurd | D．helpful |
| A．divorced when she was young | B．not caring for her kids any longer |
| C．a(chǎn)lone but not at all lonely | D．prouder with her garden than with her kids. |

With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means _______.
|
A．lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling |
|
B．eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry |
|
C．eco-hotels are where young people love to live |
|
D．romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels |
2. According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
|
A．It uses renewable energy. |
|
B．It is comfortable and fashionable. |
|
C．It has walls of glass. |
|
D．It is home to endangered species. |
3. From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that _______.
|
A．protects important habitats |
|
B．harvests food from its own garden |
|
C．has courses on the environment for its guests |
|
D．encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities |
4. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.
|
A．money is the driving force behind eco-hotels |
|
B．eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests |
|
C．eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels |
|
D．the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment |
5. People who choose to stay at eco-hotels _______.
|
A．love to take a hike |
|
B．have environmental awareness |
|
C．want to live comfortably |
|
D．enjoy the green atmosphere |

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學年甘肅省高二下學期期末考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
There was great interest when a big hole mysteriously appeared in the middle of a field. Engineers were called in to explain how it had got there. They offered various explanations but were not at all sure how the hole had been caused, it was thought that a large bomb which came suddenly exploded, but it was not possible to prove this. A simple, but highly improbable explanation was offered by a man who declares to know well about “flying saucers”; the strange objects which are round in shape and are said to visit the earth from outer space. The man’s explanation may have been nonsense (胡說八道), but at least it was imaginative. At any rate, it was far more interesting than the one given by the army.
After examining the ground carefully the man declared to have seen special marks on the soil quite near the hole, these, he said, could only have been caused by a flying saucer. Moreover the leaves on some bushes nearby had turned yellow because of a strange hot gas which had come from the saucer just before it landed. Even a small tree some way off appeared to have been burnt slightly. A small piece of metal found in the hole itself gave further proof that a strange object had been there. According to the man, it was quite clear that people from another world had been going around the earth trying to pick up information, when something had gone wrong. Because of this they had been forced to land in a field so that the damage could be repaired. The hole had been caused when the saucer struck the earth, while the strange marks nearby were made when it took off again. This, said the man, was the simplest explanation of how the hole had appeared. Judging from the interest the public took in the matter, there must be quite a few people who secretly believe or hope that this simple explanation is the true one.
1.What aroused public interest?
A. A mysterious hole in a field. B. Various explanations offered by experts.
C. A simple explanation given by a man. D. The shape of the flying saucers.
2.The author thought the man’s explanation was________.
A. boring but imaginative B. reasonable and interesting
C. meaningless but interesting D. mysterious and unbelievable
3.The man found a lot of proofs except ____.
A. special marks on soil near the hole B. yellow leaves on some bushes nearby
C. a small piece of meal in the hole D. the remains of the flying saucer
4.It’s said the outer-space people were circling the earth _______.
A. to repair their saucer B. to strike the earth
C. to. collect information D. to make strange marks
